because UBW is apparently what was originally intended and episode 0 cleared up SO MANY THINGS that the first episode of the original anime left blank. like, the fact that they use mana.

and I will watch Zero, but apparently Zero spoils a whole bunch of stuff in Stay/Night so I will watch it after UBW.

that, and I can't look at one of the main characters of the original animation without being reminded of

UBW is actually the alternate telling. The "true" route in the game was the Fate route, which was adapted into the 2006 Stay Night. Supposedly poorly and yeah it's just not that great regardless, but IMO still should be watched at some point to see what really happened/could have happened (depending on your point of view).

And UBW is going to spoil a bunch of Zero stuff or some things not make sense without the context it provides, so...

Thought you meant Fate Zero the whole time, my bad.

Also it is best to watch Zero first, cause like my last post it references back to Zero to much, because Ufotable literally made it a sequel to Fate Zero.

Yeah, I'm one of those people that watched UBW and is just now watching Zero.!

then I'll go back to it.

from what I've heard, Zero spoils the main story, and if there's references to Zero, I wouldn't mind those being spoiled as opposed to both mainline shows getting spoiled.

I'm confused. The food fight was in the first episode of the second season, which is like, episode 11.

Also, it's not anime. But.

[GreenPsychoRanger]

It's not Anime?! Then what is it? Because it's CG? Also, I just realized that I messed p. Sorry, watched episode 1 of season 2. Thanks Barn.

UBW is just one of the 3 possible routes, meant to be the second part of the story.

Well, they both spoil stuff for each other, but Stay Night was the original release and Zero is the prequel, so that's arguably the official order.

UBW being an anime is still odd, it never was meant to be a standalone thing, so now we have this odd monster that is not the proper Stay Nigh story but it's not a Zero sequel either.

I think the official statement was that they tackled them as independent projects, neither should be seen as prequel or sequel.
